The Top 3 Probiotics for Men

Every month, Probiotics.org updates our recommendations for the best men’s probiotics. But first, I’ll explain why men need different probiotics than women do.

Why Men Need Different Probiotics

Men and women are similar, but we aren’t the same. Women need probiotics that support vaginal health, but men obviously don’t need that.

So, in our top 5 list, we focused on products that are heavy in the non-vaginal probiotic strains. This way you’ll get the male-dominant probiotic strains your body actually needs…and you can skip the rest.

#3 Gut Duct Tape by Digest Strong

Digest Strong was designed for men who want stronger digestion. It has been specifically engineered for men’s digestive strength…primarily through it’s probiotic strain choice.

This (at the time) groundbreaking probiotic uses the 10 most deeply researched probiotic strains that promote digestive health. It has has patented technology that protects the probiotics from stomach acid – allowing the probiotics to arrive in your intestines alive. In your intestines the probiotics go to work – and start supporting your digestive strength.

Each pill has 30 billion good bacteria, which is considered by Probiotics.org to be a “goldilocks dose” – not an overdose level of probiotic dosage, but strong enough to have a noticeable effect on your digestion.

While this probiotic is rated 5 stars, Probiotics.org is considering downgrading it to a 4.5 star probiotic. Because since Digest Strong came out in 2015, the next 2 newer probiotics are actually better…and they are true 5 star probiotics.

#2 – 1MD Complete Probiotic Platinum

Of the top 3 men’s probiotics, this supplement is most focused on the immunity and allergy mitigation benefits of probiotics. It’s slightly lacking in helping you poop better, but it can still help in those cases as well.

1MD has has 51 billion CFU, which is above our Goldilocks limit on probiotic strength. Probiotics.org recommends staying at 30 billion CFU or below when you first start out. So this probiotic gets slightly dinged for that.

One thing that sets this probiotic apart from #3 probiotic, Gut Duct tape, is that 1MD has the prebiotic fiber, NutraFlora. This is a really specific type of fiber that you’ll never eat in a modern diet, even if you eat salad and veggies every day. But this epcial prebiotic fiber have been shown to have significant immune and digestive benefits.

1MD’s Complete Probiotic Platinum doesn’t waste space on strains that support vaginal health – making it a solid men’s probiotic.
